Powis Castle Artemesia May 18, 2014

Any white foliage plant is a winner with me.  And Powis Castle is a great one for the humidity of the deep south. Many white and silver foliage plants don't care for our hot, humid climate.  I have two mounds of this artemesia in the Long Border.  I placed it in the front of the border which was not a great idea - it should have been placed in the middle.  It responds well to pruning if it gets leggy.  

Behind this clump of artemesia is a stand of Swamp Sunflower and Madame Antoine Mari rose.
